A day after the first former Beta Theta Pi
fraternity member to pleaded guilty in the
case received no jail time, a second member
is set to enter a guilty plea.
According to court documents, Joseph Ems Jr
is expected to enter a guilty plea Aug. 8.
Ems faces charges of hazing and furnishing
alcohol that were held over after he was
initially charged in November.
The plea announcement comes after former Beta
Theta Pi member Ryan Burke was sentenced to
house arrest and probation Tuesday in lieu
of jail time.
Prosecutors did argue for Burke to get jail
time, but to no avail.
